Brimstone by Callie Hart: An In-Depth Chat with Your Book Besties

Join your besties as we dive deep into Brimstone by Callie Hart- the much-anticipated second book following Quicksilver-  Kat and Amanda unpack what worked, what didn’t, and why Brimstone feels both more enjoyable and more exhausting than its predecessor. We talk overhype, sequel expectations, and the growing trend of sprawling romantasy worlds that might be doing a little too much. Vampires, infected vampires, gods, the underworld, dragons, shifting identities, surprise villains, and unresolved plotlines all enter the chat- sometimes all at once. The conversation spirals into pacing issues, emotional fatigue, and whether reader demand (hello, BookTok) is pushing publishers to rush books out before they’re fully ready. We get candid about editing, publishing pressure, typos, ARC feedback, and what it means when a sequel feels like it needed more time to breathe. Of course, no buddy read episode would be complete without friendly arguments — including whether this series has ever been a slow burn, which characters deserve more page time, and why the emotional weight landed hardest… for a fox. If you love romantasy, have strong opinions about sequels, or have ever thought, “Maybe this book needed one less plot thread,” this episode is for you. Want to join our book club?
